man coming from his vineyard - and who
brought its several large ciu.sters of fine grapes.
For thesal gave him a piaster, equal an val

came to the river,Leontea. , ..- Weerossed over
on n - . massive stone bridge built on
. fifteen
arches,, on some of which' we noticed inscrip-'

While - there; several Arabs carne near to in
quire about the war in the Crimea,- for the
people in this country- take it for &anted that
all the foreigners whom ..they:meet , are well
informed as to the news. Mi.:Benton-in
quired of them , "which side are you an ? Are
you •for. the Russians -or the Allies : I" Not.
wishing to commit themselves, theY.replied,
We are on the side of justice.,)Yhtit king
do, you fight for?" Mr. B. ani,,e,red, ."We
are on tie side of the King of kingl, and the °
King of kings is for roam— peace-an earth
and good will to pan." He then proceeded
at some length to explain to 'them-the-great
and precious truths of the gospel. They lis
termi with attention, and 'we hope that the
'-word thus sown by the way side may not be
lost. -
After, getting sufficiently:rested we resum
ed our journey. All .the afternoon we travel-.
ed on toward the south, sometimes - through
deep valleys, and at others: along rough
'mountain passes, the scenery ever varying,
now lovely and beautiful where the hand of
man had planted green olive yards and vine
yards, novi , ...rugged and picturesque in all its
natural wildness and grandeur. The. last part
of our journey, lay along the Wcsern slope,
of Mt. Hermon. Nearly all thoday had Vie
gazed upon this lofty mountain towering up
before us, and now we were riding along at
its very base. I shall . have more to say of
Mt. Hermon before I 'dose * . -

a small rapid stream of water called the
Hasbany, and which constittites'thernest nor

that spans the stream, wn, felt that we . were
indeed entering upon the verge'ef a land of
sacred . sceoesimd th - e land'of
the Bible, the . kind Where the y Siviorliiired
and:wrought his wondrous work tor,tnn.
Alter crossing the river,we rode ode or
two miles • further up a steep rocky , phth to

On
Monday Xt . Bentotfand myself visited
die bituminous wells near'Hasbeiya. 'There
are several of these 'wells, or •mines , o.they
might, be called, from' which the bitutnen iii
talcen at a 'great depth - below the surfao of
the eatAh: We did not venture to enter - the
wells, for the descent would have . been atten
ded with some danger, and out curiosity was
not strong enough to overcome our prudenee.
Pn the following morning (Tuesday, Aug.
2',2,) ',accompanied by 4fr. . 0 1 , Vortabet and
three other friendly Arabs who were travel;•
ing slime direction' with ourselvei, we
set out for Banias, a \town of Considerable
,note abOut twenty miles , to the south.of
hely& "After two hours riding we came tb
a' vast conconr.sd of people, collected together'
in' the midst of an extensive' 'field - or Plain.
They had brought with Ahem horses and cam
els laden. with merchandise. There was no
'village near, or houses or nn f thing that could
afrord shelter from sun or' rain, save a few
temporary stalls - and huts.• Yet this teas the
great market-plice 'fur all y that region (.)f
`country, and here, e‘iery, Tuepdny, tge inhab
itants of all the surrounding towns collect to-
gether for :"the purpose of barter and trade,
bringing - with then' whatever - articles they /
have.. to , dispose of, and receiving other attic
Iles or money in return. It. was a noVel'ancl
interesting . spectacle to see 'so , ma Y.Of• the
people assembled .together : .. fo trade : and
friendly intercourse.; but uld not:help
'asking myself - the quesOon; will they. ever
flock toge..ther to hear / the glad tidings of sal
'Vati6n, and to iinite for those things which .
pertain : to tbeirverla.sting peace I
Passing -1? ythe market-place, We ascended
a hill froni-which we had a fine -View of the
bedutifiil lake of Ilnleh, or Samochonitis, - as
it z Was anciently called. It is alsOealled
nom, and is mentioned in the .seriptures as
the "waters ofMeroin." (Josh. xr. 5.) .It
is situated at the low;er end of a wide marshy
plain, and is formed by the. united sources of
• the river Jordan.• We were now within the
horders of the tribe of .Naphtali. We soon
entered upon the northentextreinityer the
plain of :Huleh, and in two hours thereafter
we arrived at the spot where stood -the an
cient town of Dan. ThiS was one of the
most northern cities that einie - into the pos—
clegsion of the children . pf Israel, as - Beersheba
was the most southern ; and thus arose the
well-khown' 7proverbial expressien, -" from
Din to' Beersheba," denoting' the•whole ex
tent of the land: The original name -of-Dan
was Laish, in the time of the - judges a
celony of theDanites fell upon the eity,:mur
dered the inhabitants:, burned their honSes,
and then' built a town on the ruins which
they called-Dan, after the name of theirtribe...
You will find the history of 'these occurrenc
es in the eighteenth chapter of Judges, (Vs:
26:29.) It si as here, too, that in after years
king -: Jeroboam set up one of the golden
caltel, for the people of Israel to worship ;.
and is recorded in 1 - Kings xn, 30; that
"this*hing &came a sin; for the people went
to w+ship before - the. one' even unto Dan."
Thred thousand years have'rolled away since
these estrange events took place, and now
thersgis nothing left to mark the spot Where
they occurred, save a Mound of stones • and;
earth. This mound rises , but a few feet
above the plain, but covers - several acres in
extent; and is call ;li 3 = the Arabs "Tell 11 Ka . -,
dy,"'Which•signifies the . " Hil l -of the Judge."
On one side • of this inennd., are - three largO
trees which have . already-attained to a ven
erable age. Their wide-spread branches; in-.
terlaemg abeve, Stlbrd a thick and Cool shade;
while immediately 'beneath there' bUbbles
from out the ground a finnitain'of pure, Crys
tal: water, sending forth at once 'a large and
rapid stream into' the Plain belew, and form
ing,another of ..the sources Of the riVer -Jor-
.
We remained here about 'two hones," and
ate' our dinner'by the side of the,fonntain.—
And whilePwe sat amid these scenes of -si
lince and devastation, with no sound- save
tile,murmur - of the waters to break the deep
stillness that reigned' around, our thoughts
traveled far back-through the long, long ages
_
'past to the'tirne of 'that fearful maseaere of
the inhabitantWataish, and that still'more
fearfal idolatiy into Which the children of Is.

Proposed that on i theoe.it day we should as

arrangements Were accordingly, made, and ,
the next tnorning at suntise..,we-com,
the ascent. Our.party Consisted of eight, in
cluding, the guide and, muleteer. , - We : paned
through :some , pretty village :and smiling
groves of olive and intilberry trees; and then
descendedinto'ivdeep %Alley . CliMbing the
high steep ridge upon the.opposite side, we
found , still another, valley and , another' ridge
heyond. Ins some places - bur path led down
steep declivitiea, itfOthers over craggy rocks
or aloni Sange,rous pre, ' ices ;_: and the wild
,
stupetulous mountain seepery i ever varying,
filled us each moment withnew wonder and
delight. At length we arrived at, the foot of
the last4and 'loftiest peak! , of Iterinen tower
up still five thousand feet alcove otir
We noticed that, though the sun had been. up
three or four hours; the dew,still lay i heavy
opon the stones and gratin(' around us, there
by reminding us °lithe beautiful allusion' . in
the Psalms, where Davit ecrniares brother
ly love to the dew or licrinon',(ps. cipau.)
We had already r attained , au elevation. of
seieral thousand feet abtive the sea,,and had
passed the line above which trees 'cease to'ex: - -
'Scontheirass entirely,di4apPiared and
presently there Were no traces 'or vci — retation
'visible, save a peculiar spectes',of moss, and
here and there clumps Oa haw pricklyshrub.
The air became. 'cooler and rarer as' we' ad-
Vanced, and within half an hour's =ride' the
- top we found immense bank-, of snow! ying
in the ravines,and • gradually , melting away
beneath the summer sun. ; The body of snow
is so great that much of: remains all the
year round. The Arabs say that these loUg
snow banks when viewed from!' distance re
sem ble the white locks of hair on an old man's
head, and hone* they call Mt. Hermon, Jibe/
Eesla Sheikh, which means, "the tno;intainf
the old man." „About it o'zlock we reach •
the summit and locked over Open
,t4e vast
landscape that lay beyond.. The effect pro
duced upon our minds as , we • gazed around
upon the magnificent scene before 11.9, wasfil
most overpowering.
, I had never before beheld . a landscape as
wide, extending, or which.comprised so much
tiug, was beautiful and . grand. Nor until. I
?land upon the Mt. of Olives, do' I ever ex
pect to behold a scene combining so many
points of deep and soul-thrilling interest.—
Imagine yourselves,, my young friends, with
me while viewing. the 'various jects that sur
round us. On the North West lies thegreat
chain of Lebanon, stretching away one -hun
